Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Scott, Ph.D. as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. After serving as Superintendent of Schools for the Houston County School District since 2014, Dr. Scott brings a wealth of experience in educational leadership and strategic planning to CGTC.  He will begin in his new role July 1.  

As the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Dr. Scott will be responsible for collaborating with local healthcare systems and regional school boards to establish Georgia’s first regional STEM/Allied Health educational facility for secondary students. Envisioned as an innovative education model including hands-on training and paid workforce experience, this healthcare high school initiative will focus on implementing educational programs to expand middle-skill pathways for local students. These pathways will allow students to earn college credit leading toward a high school diploma and a college credential, and result in graduates earning livable wages upon entering the workforce after graduation.
